Aquarius

I always saw myself, a rarity My inner peace comes with clarity I'm so extreme, it often seems The world is so unfair to me Then I was called an Aquarius Turns out, there are many of us About as rare as a rocking chair Or a pecan in a can of nuts But how in the world could it be Are there really others, just like me Deliriously mysterious Tempting the line of both extremes I've accepted that I'm strange Agreed that I won't change But I was taught, it was my fault It was I who was deranged Now I just observe I need not speak a word No longer blind, I see my kind I admit, it seems absurd As if I walk around Without speaking sound But even still, others will Know I am a clown They'll know I'm awfully odd By the transparency of my facade I cannot hide, won't tell a lie They'd know I was a fraud Just look at my date of birth It will tell you what I'm worth No need to wait, inevitable fate Now you know henceforth

Anna, there are many of us like you here in the Soup! We that think we are outcasts, strange and different people! Those of us that are unique shine through, and here we are, really special in our very way! There might be similarities within our birthday traits, but none are as unique as us poets are! Just remember you have a group of people that are like you in many ways, and that care for you even though you feel separate, different, and left sided! Those that are left handed are artists!
